Chapter 357: Speaking of superiority and inferiority, speaking of brothers
"Wow, wow, wow, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us..." Ye Qianning's fierce little face suddenly burst into tears.
"Don't cry, daughter. Daddy is here."
"Little girl, don't cry. If you cry, grandpa will want to cry too." Old Gu said as he was about to wipe away his tears.
Madam Zhan was wiping her tears without saying a word.
"...Okay." Emperor Beili was annoyed enough.
Ye Qianning twisted his little body down and ran to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince are bullying us, bullying us."
"You stand aside first and don't say anything. I will figure out the situation and judge right from wrong." Emperor Beili was afraid that if he said one more word, he would kill the kid.
Beating the prince is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of her family, yet she dared to file a complaint first.
Although no one knows which family's child she is from, she has already made all four families uneasy.
The fact that Old Gu brought Gu Shuo into the palace to resign from his position as imperial merchant had something to do with Ye Qianning.
Ye Qianning stood there sniffling and sobbing.
"Qian Ning, come here." Madam Zhan brought her to her side, squatted down and held the little girl in her arms.
Looking at the baby's purple face, she felt extremely guilty. If she had followed the baby, she would not have suffered so much.
"Seventh Brother, I remember that you were imprisoned in the cold palace. Why are you here?" Emperor Beili glanced around and landed on Sang Rui.
Sang Rui was trembling all over and knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
"Old Eight, you tell me." Looking at Sang Zhi, Emperor Beili's eyes became sharper.
Princess Chu Yue of Dongyi stood at the back, looking at Sang Zhi indifferently.
Sang Zhi knelt down and saluted: "I don't know."
"Don't know? Then why did you fight with the prince like this? Do you know what the crime of assaulting the prince is?"
"When I say I don't know, I mean I don't know why the prince stopped me and beat me." Sang Zhi was not afraid at all, his voice was indifferent and steady.
"The injury on the prince's face is no less serious than yours."
"The prince hit me, and I should fight back."
"As it should be? Old Eight, do you still have any respect for hierarchy?" Emperor Beili was very displeased.
"In terms of seniority, I am naturally inferior to the prince. In terms of siblings, I am the prince's elder brother." Sang Zhi raised his head, neither humble nor arrogant.
Emperor Beili was stunned when he met those eyes. It seemed that he had not seen his son for a long time. He didn't know when he had become like this.
In a word, you hit the point.
"You are talking nonsense, which clearly shows that you are committing insubordination." Sang Qi scolded angrily.
Sang Zhi turned around and said, "Then why don't you tell me what I did? I was convicted of treason."
"You..." Sang Qi was angry.
"It's the Crown Prince who is wrong. We were doing fine, but not only did you block our way, you also mocked the Eighth Prince for not being able to go to Loushan, and said that the Emperor deliberately made the Eighth Prince drop out of school in order not to hinder his future." Ye Qianning shouted angrily at the top of his voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Beili's face instantly became extremely ugly.
Concubine Yuan's face also froze.
The queen was pleased.
Princess Dongyi snorted in her heart. It seemed that the Northern Emperor really hated that little bitch. He even degraded her child to this level.
"You're talking nonsense." Sang Qi glared at her.
"Who said that? It was you. You said that the Eighth Prince should see his place. Everyone heard it. It's shameful for a dignified Crown Prince to deny what he said and lie like a bunch of lies."
"You're talking nonsense."
"Let the emperor ask himself and see who among us is lying." Ye Qianning pointed at Eunuch Li with her little hand: "Tell me, you were all there at the time."
Eunuch Li was called and hurried forward.
Emperor Beili: "Speak."
